Sash-hanger.



JOHN J. WEINMANN, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.

SASH-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1918.

Application filed October 30, 1917. Serial No. 199,300.

To all whom z'tmay concern Be it known that I, JOHN J. WEINMANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sash hangers and it is the principal object of the invention to provide a hanger of such construction as will permit the sash to be instantly engaged with the same and loosely supported upon a Window frame in order that it may be swung outwardly, thus, rendering the hanger especially desirable for use in securing storm sashes and screens to windows.

Another and equally important object of the invention is to provide novel meansfor holding the sash in its opened position with respect to the window frame.

Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.

The improvements in the details and arrangement of parts will be apparent from an inspection of the accompanylng drawings, in connection with the specific description hereinafter contained, and wherein the preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed for the purpose of imparting a full understanding of the same.

In the drawings Figure l is a front elevation of the hangers applied to a fragment of a window frame, one of the hangers being shown in section.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, and

Fig. 3 is a disassembled detail in perspective.

Similar reference characters will refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

Having more particular reference to the drawings, 1 represents a window frame of conventional construction and design, which has a plurality of spaced brackets indicated by the numeral 2 secured to the upper horizontal portion thereof. Laterally extending flanges 3 are formed adjacent the bases of the several brackets 2 and obviously permits the passing of screw or like fastening devices 4 therethrough into engagement with the window frame. Inasmuch as the brackets 2 are identical in construction, reference will be hereinafter had to but one, it being understood that such reference will provide for both. The bracket 2 includes a body portion having ways 5 and 6 formed in the opposite sides thereof, it being noted in this connection, that the extremities of the said ways are nonalined and have certain of their sides inclined and further, that the same extend in direction opposite to each other. Notches or seats 7 are formed in the upper portions of the body of the bracket adjacent the said ways 5 and 6 and serve for a purpose which will be subsequently obvious.

A pair of plates designated by the numeral 8 are provided and are formed of spring metal, the body portion of which is apertured as at 9 in order that the same maybe secured to a storm sash or screen 10 by screws or other fastening devices. The intermediate portions of the plates 8 are oifset as at 10 and have oppositely disposed hooked arms 11 formed thereon, which arms project from a distance above the storm sash or screen 10 when the plates are arranged thereon.

Thus, when it is desired to engage the storm sash or screen 10 with the window frame it is only necessary to place the upper portion thereof in the window frame and move it upwardly until the hooked spring arms 11 engage the beveled ways 5 and 6 formed in the bodies of the several brackets 2, it being understood that the plates 8 are mounted on the sash or screen in a manner to cause engagement of the same with the bracket 2 upon upward movement. As the spring arms 11 are en aged with the oppositely disposed bevele or inclined ways 5 and 6 and moved upwardly therethrough, they will be caused to return to their normal positions with a snap and as a consequence, will engage the seats or notches 7 formed in the body portions of the said bracket, thereby securely locking the same against accidental displacement. To remove the sash or screen from the window, it becomes necessary to flex the spring arms 11 until the hooked extremities thereof aline with their respective beveled ways 5 and 6, whereupon the sash'may be readily pulled downwardly and disengaged.

Manifestly, the construction shown is capable of considerable modification and such modification as is Within the scope of my claims, I consider Within the spirit of my invention.

I claim 1. A sash hanger, including a bracket having non-alined Ways formed in the opposite sides thereof, and plates carried by thesash having spring arms thereon engageable in said Ways.

2. A sash hanger, including a bracket having non-alined beveled Ways formed in the opposite sides thereof, and hooked spring arms carried by the sash engageable in said Ways.

3. A sash hanger, including a bracket having inclined non-al'ined waysfornied in the arms thereon engageable in said Ways an seats.

4:. Asash hanger, including a bracket having inclined non-a-lined Ways formed in the opposite sides thereof, seats formed in the bracket comlnimicating with the upper extremities of said Ways, and platesicarried by the sash having the intermediate portions thereof offset and reduced to provide spring arms engageable in said ways and the seats.

In testimony whereof, I "aifix my signature hereto. M

JOHN 'J. WEINMANN.
